[Pown]

Hey Guys!!

I bought Nikon D5200 after i posted my thought here and got your advices, Now i need help to access my camera

1. I want to turn on HDR, It's grey out. I tried changing my file format to jpeg and M mode, and everything i read but it's still grey, i can't turn it on. Help needed) Thanks
2. Bracketing Photos, I saw on youtube, that i can take 3 images with different exposure compensation, But i can able to take 2 only. Is that only 2 available or am i missing something? Please help on that too..

One more question i have, I saw that D5200 has the facility to shoot slow motion, I mean i saw everywhere it's 60fps, But i don't know where to do the settings and turn it on. Help me on that too guys.

Note: I don't have the manual, So i trust you guys with these questions.

Thank you

I know on my D7100 I need first move file from RAW to JPEG to highlight the HDR function.
Probably you will need to do same on your D5200.

You need to turn the camera to JPEG-only. Not RAW + JPEG. Make sure you're shooting in aperture priority or another supported mode for auto-HDR. You may have to set d-lighting to auto.

For bracketing, you have to go into your camera's settings and change it from 2-bracket to 3-bracket bracketing.

In-camera HDR is somewhat useless in my opinion. Stick to bracketing if you love HDR.

You can't use Raw, and you can't use flash.
The in-camera HDR feature only makes 2 exposures and they aren't actually bracketed.
For the best results with the in-camera HDR feature set the camera to the Matrix light metering mode.

See pages 71-72 of the D5200 Reference Manual.

It's all covered in the manual !!!!

Many don't know that the full Reference Manual is a PDF file on the software disc that comes with Nikon D3XXX and D5XXX cameras.

Nikon does not provide a hard copy of the full manual, just a hard copy Quick Start guide that only covers the high points.
